Originally posted by DarthAnt66 Idk how many "unparalleled" quotes a Jedi needs to be respected, lol.

Just wasn't sure what the material you would be referring to. Unparalleled in what way? Is it just skill hype?

Originally posted by DarthAnt66 Dooku saying Grievous might have trouble against him straight-up.

That would be the one which you could frame an argument around. Off course you could dismiss that as an angry Dooku just throwing names out. Dooku, having his lost his cool, has also speculated sh!t like darkside yoda would annihilate Palpatine

Given I take almost all quotes with varying levels of subjectivity, always and never.

But between three quotes saying Cin is among the Jedi's finest, Dooku saying Grievous would be challenged, and him being the in-universe version of Nick Gillard, his standing is pretty obvious.

Because Cin was the Jedi Temple's head of security? His job was to stay at the Jedi Temple in case the Sith launched a counter offensive, which they did. That rebuttal was actually worse than the other one, if that's even possible.

Originally posted by DarthAnt66 There's a number of quotes saying he has "unparalleled" or "nearly unparalleled" skill. Plus Dooku saying Grievous might have trouble against him straight-up.

It's definitely worth noting that Dooku thought so highly of Drallig.

When I wrote that, I mentally went to myself, "maybe I should specify what I mean by that - that I'm referring to the unparalleled quotes." But then I figured no one would be retarded enough to actually think I was specifically referring to some quote saying "Cin Drallig is one of the Jedi's finest." But lo and ****ing behold...

quote:

Uh, he also implied any of the council masters>Grievous even though Grievous has repeatedly clowned council masters.

And? Dave Filoni has outright stated the same viewpoint.

quote:

Right, he's the battlemaster. How does are you getting from that holistic hype that he's specifically on par with Fisto?

I mean, how aren't you?

Cin Drallig has devoted his entire life to studying, perfecting, and teaching lightsaber combat.

How is a high-ranking Jedi Master like Kit Fisto going to somehow be more proficient in a lightsaber than Drallig?

Especially with Drallig even have statements confirming, indeed, he is "unparalleled" in his craft.

It doesn't follow any logical sense.

Prodigies (Kenobi, Anakin, Mace, Yoda) aside, Cin Drallig should be the best swordsman in the Order.

And that viewpoint is echoed by Dooku naming specifically Drallig, not Fisto, when talking to Grievous.

Cin Drallig has devoted his entire life to studying, perfecting, and teaching lightsaber combat.

How is a high-ranking Jedi Master like Kit Fisto going to somehow be more proficient in a lightsaber than Drallig?

The same way Bane was more proficient than Kas'im?

Actually, both of the battlemaster-type characters in the DBT (Kas'im and Raskta) compared rather favorably towards Bane. Can't imagine how great the battlemaster in the peak of Jedi lightsaber dueling must be.
